Hi Doug!
You are right... it didn't have the "snap" it should have! And, no,
that's not a problem with the dark slider. The problem, it seems, is
that the light was very "flat", and in my rush to use the dark slider
(usually, that's all I do, so as to not blow the highlights) I
neglected to realize that I did have room for adding some additional
brightness first!
Check again, and you'll see the results of both contrast and dark
slider. (Had I done it all with the contrast control, the highlights
would be blown, for sure!) I think you'll agree, it's better. (I
you don't, please do not hesitate to tell me!)
As for the pose, it was only for a second, as she watched her mate
fly away. In the original (a horizontal shot) you can just see his
tail feathers in the upper left of the frame. And, yes, I rather
liked the pose, too. :-)
Thanks for the "heads up" and for taking the time to look.
Cheers!
